He is author of the book Henry Ford and the Jews: The Mass Production of Hate. It's out in paperback. Baldwin details Ford's early obsession with moralistic writings condemning Jews for not accepting Christ. Shortly before World War I and continuing into the 1930s he wrote a series of venomous anti-semitic essays in the newspaper The Dearborn Independent (which he owned).

[Insert generic disclaimer here]
: : The primary cipher key has been generated. : :
The first of the two cipher keys needed to enter the Coliseum where the elimination battle will take place - and the first of many trials which would determine her worth as a Master. If she couldn't obtain both Triggers before the end of the week then she was automatically disqualified and subsequently deleted. That...would be quite the embarassing death.
Ayaka sighed and put away her terminal, preparing to enter the Arena. She was still more than a little annoyed over Shinji's nonchalant attitude about the whole thing, but after asking around she figured that his confidence was somewhat justifiable since he seemed to be a famous hacker and was supposed to be incredibly strong. Besides, she couldn't let her emotions get to her so strongly if she wanted to do her best and not let Saber down.
As she walked down the stairs, however, a familiar head of blue hair popped into view. Ayaka sighed and briefly wondered if there was a hack - or at least some sort of Formal Wear - that would allow her to become invisible to select people.
"Ayaka!" Shinji said conversationally. "Going to get the Trigger? Well, it sucks to be you. I'm going in right now, too. A total cretin like you won't be able to find it, but good luck anyway!" He burst into laughter and walked off towards the Arena.
As soon as Shinji turned the corner there was a soft whooshing sound and Saber materialized with a strange expression on his face.
"I did not know it was possible to be so...immature," Saber said in a voice that was caught somewhere between amusement and disgust. "As much as I detest deceit even the tiniest dose of insincere chivalry would do wonders for his personality. Let us go, Master, and pay no heed to that blustering fool."
Upon entering the Arena Saber paused and put a hand of Ayaka's shoulder. "Be warned, Master - the boy and his Servant are close by. Perhaps we can use this opportunity to gather information. Shall we follow them?"
Ayaka hesitated. Was she confident enough to face Shinji at the moment? For all of his posturing Shinji still had at least some talent to back him up, whereas Ayaka...
"Yes...I suppose we should," she said haltingly. Even if a battle was unavoidable the SERAPH terminated all unauthorized battles after three turns. She should be able to keep Saber alive until then, and they might gain some crucial information on their opponent's skills.
They moved deeper in, dispatching enemy programs as they went. Ayaka was pleased to find that she was noticeably better at predicting their movements, and as a result Saber was able to deal with them and suffer nothing more than a few scratches in return.
Soon, however, Ayaka came to a halt and stared at the two figures blocking the corridor up ahead. One of them was Shinji, somehow looking even more smug than he normally did. As soon as he saw Ayaka his grin grew even wider.
"Ayaka, you're late. While you were crawling along like the slug you are I obtained the Trigger!"
Ayaka flinched and hastily attempted to remember if there was anything in the rules regarding whether a Master obtained a Trigger after or before their opponent. There wasn't, as far as she could recall...
Shinji, of course, completely misinterpreted her expression and burst out laughing.
"What's with that look? Your skills are pathetic compared to mine, so don't be too harsh on yourself!" He paused and turned to the tall, red-haired woman standing beside him. "And speaking of you losing, let me introduce my Servant. I'm going to win; it's not like it matters to me. If you can't even get your cipher keys you might as well just accept your game over here and now!" He smirked and addressed his Servant. "Seriously, feel free to turn her into a bullet-ridden corpse whenever you feel like it!"
Ayaka's breath caught; was Shinji really going to give out information about his Servant just like that? Not that she was complaining, but how could anyone be so stupid? This was his own life on the line! Under her disbelief there was a slight sliver of annoyance - did she really seem that incompetent, or was it just Shinji being obnoxious again? Either way, he really was beginning to get on her nerves even more than usual.
And did he say 'bullet-ridden corpse'? Ayaka looked at the scarred Servant curiously. Bullets implied guns of some sort, and gun-wielding Legendary Souls were far from common - as opposed to those who wielded swords or magic. She was dressed the part of a female gunslinger from olden times, certainly, in tight white pants and long black boots and a crimson jacket which just barely managed to cover her giant breasts.
"Okay," the Servant said with a smile, "but are you sure you're done gloating? I found myself enjoying your meaningless chatter." She then turned to Ayaka and grinned. "As you can see, when it comes to talking to others, my Master is a complete social retard, right? Seeing him actually having a conversation with you, I thought we could settle this peacefully."
Ayaka stifled a snort at the words 'social retard', then blinked owlishly as the rest of the Servant's words registered. This was what she called a conversation? But then again, maybe it was a conversation where Shinji was concerned.
Shinji wasn't too pleased. "Will you hurry up and maim her already?"
Servant and Master exchanged a few more words, though Ayaka noted with interest the Servant's apparent fondness of evil and her expectation of a reward. Maybe she was a bounty or a treasure hunter of some sort?
"Get ready, Master," Saber said softly as he planted himself in front of her. He wasn't a moment too soon as the woman pulled out a pair of beautifully decorated handguns and fired.
Saber blocked the bullets with the flat of his invisible blade and rushed forward to engage the woman in close combat. The woman grimaced and retreated slightly before fighting back, wielding her pistols like clubs.
Ayaka frowned as she attempted to analyze the enemy's movements and got only a headache for her trouble. After a few moments she gave up - Saber seemed to be doing fine on his own and didn't need her flawed interference anyway - and pressed her hands together. When she opened them there was an Ether Shard lying in her palm, ready for use.
Generally most people might agree that clubs were effective against swords merely because with enough strength behind them they could easily break a well-crafed blade. Swords were on the more delicate side, requiring finesse and skill to wield effectively, whereas clubs were...well, clubs...and anyone could do considerable damage with them even without training. With training...well, Ayaka had a feeling that Saber's sword would've been long broken by now if it wasn't Excaliber.
As it was, she could see the enemy Servant growing slightly frustrated even as Saber slowly retreated from her blows. Thanks to Saber's armor and his personal skill any damage he took was small and ignorable. Still, if this was an extended battle...
Ayaka crushed the Ether Shard into powder and blew gently, watching as every single scratch on her Servant vanished. Saber shot her a quick but grateful smile while the enemy Servant faltered for a split second; taking advantage of that opening Saber pressed forward and managed to force her back again.
Of course, that was when the SERAPH moved to intervene and they had to drop their battle or risk penalties.
Ayaka sagged against the corridor wall as the last bits of adrenaline left her system. Meanwhile Saber leaned on his sword, looking rather odd as he did so, and looked thoughtfully at the place where Shinji and his Servant vanished.
"Interesting..." Saber muttered. "Her weapon of choice is a projectile weapon. Perhaps she is of the Archer class...?" He glanced at Ayaka and smiled sheepishly. "Please don't quote me on that, though, as I am not sure at all."
"Yeah..." Ayaka pulled out her terminal and quickly noted down Saber's theory as well as what she herself had noticed earlier. Then she sighed and stood, giving Saber a quick once-over. "Are you alright?"
"I am fine. Shall we continue?"
"Yeah, let's go..."

I used to use paint thinner between negative and glass. Just one glass surface to deal with. No effect on the film.
Glass cleaning is worth learning to do well because so much depends on a clean surface. I used to use Windex and Kodak lens cleaner by the gallon. Most important is a lint free cloth or paper towel like Kimwipes.
I have recently tried "Lysol General purpose cleaner" (apple flavour so my glasses taste good) for cleaning my glasses with amazing results. I take 2 sheets of TP fold to 1/4 sheet size and spray on a fine mist to one side of the pad. I wipe each lens surface from 1 side to the other with no pressure. No residue or drying marks. The coating on the lenses is still pristine after 1 year of doing this every morning. The coating generally disappears in a month or so if you rub the lenses when cleaning.

It's difficult to compare the CyberPower Gamer Ultra HD II with the other machines in this month's £751-£1,000 chart. Whereas the other four PCs will each get you only a single shiny pound in change from £1,000, this PC comes in at just £751. It's unsurprisingly, then, that it can't compete in terms of processing speed.
CyberPower has opted for one of AMD's brand-new Phenom II X4 920 processors. These quad-core chips come in at a considerably lower cost than Intel's i7 920 CPUs but, as our test results show, the gulf in performance levels is just as large: the CyberPower Gamer Ultra HD II achieved a comparatively low WorldBench 6 score of 106 points.
Bear in mind, however, that our benchmarks aren't particularly kind to quad-core systems such as the CyberPower Gamer Ultra HD II, which tend to do well at multithreaded applications. If you run a lot of these apps, such as video encoding for a portable audio player, you may find the Phenom II preferable to a dual-core system.
Costs have also been cut in the graphics department, too: the HD 4850 is the poor relation of the HD 4870 favoured by Arbico, offering the same features but reduced performance. With a standard 22in monitor and 500GB hard drive, the CyberPower Gamer Ultra HD II offers a rather basic specification. It also lacks external speakers and Blu-ray.
The CyberPower Gamer Ultra HD II uses the same case as the Arbico, but adds tool-free fittings. There's plenty of room inside for expansion, with a pair of free memory slots. There's also some cool blue illumination to keep gamers happy.

Buying advice: Power desktop PCs (May 09 issue)
Processor: Taking this price bracket by storm is Intel's new Core i7 chip. This is a match for the best dual-core systems and will outpace any previous-gen quad-core machine. However, Core i7 chips require more expensive DDR3 memory and a new motherboard design, so expect to make sacrifices elsewhere.
Dual-core CPUs are still very popular at this price point, offering good performance and considerably lower overall system costs. Intel's competitively priced E8600 offers the best performance.
Quad-core processors, such as the Q9400, are also available at this price. These chips use the same memory and motherboard as dual-core PCs and can offer huge speed advantages if you run multithreaded applications.
Memory: Generally speaking, you should consider 4GB as a minimum, particularly if you're running Vista. But if you're buying a Core i7-based PC, expect 3GB. These install memory chips in threes.
A 64bit operating system (OS) will take full advantage of your RAM - but check that your software and drivers will be supported. If you opt for more than 4GB, a 64bit OS is essential.
Storage: Anything less than 400GB is now considered a small amount of storage space. Many users will get by with 320GB but, with prices continuing to fall, it isn't impossible to find a terabyte of storage at this price point.
Get a multiformat DVD writer that can write to a dual-layer format if you want to store 8.5GB rather than 4.7GB on a disc. Look for a minimum of eight-speed DVD+R DL; DVD-R DL is nice but not essential. Also try to get eight-speed DVD+RW. At this price you should be able to find a drive that reads Blu-ray discs - note that it won't burn to Blu-ray, and DVD burning speeds will be slower.
Display: 22in flat-panels are the standard here. Many vendors supply budget screens, but it's worth spending a little more if you intend to work with digital photos or video. Try before you buy to ensure you can put up with the quality.
A screen with a response time of 8ms or less will minimise blur on fast-moving images. For image editing, contrast ratio and colour fidelity are more important.
A digital input can preserve picture quality, so think twice about displays that provide analogue inputs only.
Graphics card: At this price point, it's a pitched battle between nVidia's GeForce GTX 260 and the ATI Radeon HD 4870. If you can find a GTX 280, that's even better. When buying a GTX 260, make sure it's the newer 216-core type.
The GTX 260 and HD 4870 can be used in dual-card setups later on. But to take advantage of this, your motherboard and PSU will need to be compatible with this mode of operation.
It's possible to go for a ready-made dual-card setup, but this can work out more expensive in the long run.
Power supply: The level of power you require will depend largely on the type of graphics card you expect to use. Look for at least a 500W PSU at this price point, but consider 750W upwards if you have any thoughts of moving up to a dual-card solution later. Overclocking will also demand a powerful, high-quality PSU.
Sound card and speakers: Onboard sound is no match for a decent sound card. Consider Creative's Audigy 4 family or the excellent X-Fi range. If you only want a 2.1-channel setup, make sure they're high-quality models.

For the best results, preheat the panini press, and remember that it is better to cook a sandwich on lower heat for a longer time (rather than on high heat) so that the bread turns crisp and toasty without burning. Slightly stale bread will usually hold up better in a press than very fresh bread.

Fedora Core 8: Enter the Werewolf
Version 8 of the Fedora Core Linux distribution (Codename "Werewolf") is now available for downloading.
Fedora Core 8 has a whole bunch of new features for users. PulseAudio is now installed and enabled by default. PulseAudio is an advanced sound server compatible with nearly all existing Linux sound systems. PulseAudio allows for hot-switching audio outputs, individual volume controls for each audio stream, (this is useful for an individual setting of the ring tone for VoIP, for example) separate networked audio, and more. CodecBuddy solves the common problem of integrating codecs encumbered by patents: although Fedora does without contentious codecs, it will point you to resources that supply them. The distribution sets up printers automatically and has at least simple driver support.
The Online Desktop package, which user can install via the package manager is more experimental: it establishes an Internet connection and gives users access to web-based applications and social networks. Version 0.7 of Network Manager simplifies access to wireless networks. Use of Bluetooth is also simpler thanks to the graphical tools Gnokii and the Gnome Phone Manager; this should take the headaches out of synchronizing mobiles.
Security-wise the new distribution introduces several changes: the integrated firewall is easier to configure thanks to the graphical System-config-firewall tool. "PolicyKit" gives users the ability to assign privileges for applications. Virt-Manager gives administrators the ability to run multiple authentication servers securely using SSL/TLS encryption and x509 certificates.
The tickless kernel feature saves power, as do more efficient power management, an improved suspend function and various other enhancements in this area. Powertop sees Fedora Core 8 add a software that identifies power hogs.
FC8 also has new eye candy: besides a revamped look, the distribution now includes Compiz 3D effects for Gnome and KDE. You can enable 3D via "Preferences/Desktop Effects". Fans of the Compiz-Beryl reunion will be pleased to hear that FC8 also offers Compiz Fusion effect downloads in its repository.
Custom Spins are Fedora spinoffs that cater to users with specific needs: the Live Fedora Games Spin DVD includes various 3D shooters such as Nexuiz and Quake 3 for gamers, but also includes classic games such as Freeciv or Nethack. Two other spins target developers (with IDEs and build tools) and electronics tinkerers. More changes are detailed by the Wiki for the new release. The distribution is available for downloading here.
Fedora Core is Red Hat spin-off. The Fedora Core community project was initiated by Red Hat in 2003.

By Jason A. firstname.lastname@example.com Representatives of a local church are preparing students for the school year through an annual event scheduled this weekend. New Birth South Metropolitan Church, at 2455 Mt. Carmel Rd., in Hampton, will host a Back to School Rally Saturday from 11 a.m., to 6 p.m. The seventh annual event will be held at the Gerald Matthews Complex at Lovejoy Regional Park, located at 1935 McDonough Rd., in Hampton. The church's youth minister, Melvin C. Smith, said the goal of the rally, which is expected to draw 4,000 people, is to "educate, equip and empower the kids for higher learning." Smith said the rally is part of a vision on the part of the church's senior pastor, Andre Landers, to promote unity in the community. To that end, free school supplies will be given to all students, while parents have the opportunity to obtain testing information for their kids. "We want families to be able to sustain themselves, by being informed with the knowledge and understanding to perpetuate positive life skills from one generation to the next," said Smith. Another feature of the event will be a health fair, which Smith said will provide vision screenings and information topics such as childhood obesity, AIDS and diabetes. Representatives from the American Cancer Society and the American Red Cross, as well as a dental hygienist, will also be on hand. In addition, several bands and ROTC teams from area schools will showcase their talent. Meanwhile, members of local high-school football teams in Henry and Clayton counties will take part in a toughman competition. For more information, call (678) 479-4990.

Alright--I've worked my way out of messy computer problems before, but this one's got me pretty well stumped. I mean, even for a PC using Apple products this is a bit ridiculous.
When I open up iTunes, all of the media works just fine, but when I try to navigate to the Store, the white "iTunes Store" page comes up (which I know it does while loading), and the loading bar locks up about halfway through "Accessing iTunes Store" without showing any error messages of any kind. Obviously, refreshing the page does nothing, and neither does opening it up in a separate window. iTunes allows me to sign in, and to view and edit my account/billing information, but even from there I can't worm my way into the Store (via the black menu bar atop the page). Before you say anything, YES my internet is working--hence the online discussion post, so I don't even want to hear it. And I know it isn't the actual store because I can access it on another computer.
I've had this problem for at least a week...possibly since I updated iTunes, but I can't say for sure, so I'm not about to assume there was something faulty in the update.
I found out that the Apple Mobile Device essentially murders my processor (the CPU was maxing out at 100% whenever the program ran, and it was slowing the entire computer down significantly), so I shut that down to see if iTunes was just freezing up under CPU stress like the rest of my computer. While other programs went back to functioning at normal speed, the Store still wouldn't load.
My OS is Windows 7 64-bit.
I have the latest version of iTunes 64-bit.
As far as I can tell I don't have any firewalls or bizarre security problems that are blocking access to the site.
I've tried removing iTunes from my computer and downloading the most recent--and supposedly the most compatible--version.
Admittedly, iTunes never really worked properly on my laptop--syncing, for instance, will take an ungodly amount of time and then crash, resulting in a wiped iPod that needs to take an hour to reload everything--but this is new.
I don't suppose there could be any consistent compatibility problems with running iTunes in a 64-bit OS?
I've read on some of these discussion threads that even in iTunes 64-bit a goodly amount of the programs are still 32-bit, including iTunes itself, and when I run the 64-bit version of iTunes, TM shows itunes.exe 32 gearing the program.
Sometimes problems that are this particular can result from removing important files or programs from the computer, not realizing what part they had in other programs. The only iTunes-related program I've ever deleted was Bonjour, and from the sounds of it, Bonjour doesn't (or at least shouldn't) affect the funcionality of iTunes at all, so I've ruled that out, too.
So I've exhausted my personal knowledge of what could possibly be the problem.
Either it's something simple and I'm just overcomplicating it (which happens a lot to me, actually), or it's one of those quirky, untraceable issues that exist for the sole purpose of inconveniencing people, in which case, C'est la Vie.
I'm not so much concerned with the fact that I can't access the Store as I am with the fact that I simply cannot figure this one out.
It vexes me.
Any input is welcome--I'm way open to suggestions. I figured I'd try discussions before calling Support, just in case it is something trivial.
I wanted to tag this discussion, but the Powers That Be wouldn't have it.

Critical darling Alexander Wang has been hit with a $50 million lawsuit by garment workers at his Manhattan studio who say that they had to work 16-hour shifts without breaks or legally mandated overtime pay. Alexander Wang apparently saw revenues of over $25 million last year. The allegations are pretty serious:
Wenyu Lu and dozens of co-workers charge that Wang, 28, and his brother, Dennis, violated numerous state labor laws in their operation at 386 Broadway. As a result, Lu and the others have suffered injuries, illnesses, lost time from work and lost sleep, says their suit filed in Queens Supreme Court.
Lu, 56, claims he was hospitalized for several days after he passed out at his workstation because he was forced to work 25 hours without a break and was warned that he would be fired if he didn't follow orders.
Lu eventually was fired, the suit alleges, in retaliation for complaining about the working conditions (and for filing a worker's compensation claim to cover treatment for the injuries he allegedly suffered at work). The timeline seems to sync with the pre-fashion week busy period when designers are rushing to prepare for the show and the studio may have to produce all the samples for the new collection — around that time, 16-hour days aren't unusual for anyone who works in the industry. But you still have to pay people. Including overtime. (Unless they're models; then you can keep them working until 4:30 a.m. and not pay them a cent.) Wang has yet to respond to the suit. [NYPost]
"I'm gonna take that bitch to college! I'm gonna give that bitch some knowledge!" intones a rapper who calls himself Zebra Katz over the loudest of loudspeakers, jolting awake the somnambulant fashion audience at the Rick Owens show.
It seems Lynn Yaeger, for once, missed the entire point — the song isn't about women at all. Maybe one of her gay friends can explain it to her? [Fashionista, The Cut]
- Many New York designers don't pay the models who appear in their shows — but they do have to pay the celebrities who populate their front rows. Nicole Farhi says, "I have never paid a celebrity and I will never do it. It's stupid. What do they show you in the papers after a fashion show? Not the clothes, but the celebrities who are being paid to sit at the show." She also says that she suspects other designers will feel like she's letting the cat out of the bag. "They will all hate me for it. I don't give a shit, because I think it is abominable." Though Farhi's comments certainly put a spotlight on the issue, the reality that celebrities are paid to go to shows is hardly "news": an actual list of celebrities and their appearance fees made it to the Internet over two years ago. Back then, Rihanna would cost you $100,000, Colin Firth rated $15,000, while Kristin Bell would go to a show in exchange for airfare, hotel, and expenses. Lindsay Lohan was not invited. [Telegraph]
- Rumored Christian Dior contender Maxime Simoens said he wouldn't comment on the scuttlebutt, then admitted he was "in negotiations" for...something. [WWD]
- At the Hermès show in Paris, Carine Roitfeld was being trailed by a camera crew. Interesting. Fifty-three-year-old Caroline von Paulus — the singer, model, and ex of Serge Gainsbourg better known as Bambou — closed the show. [Fashionista]
